Stopped by to pick up a treat, and service was fast and friendly. I got the butterfly pea passion flower tea and a slice of carrot cake. The tea was refreshing on a hot day, and the carrot cake was sweet and nutty. The cake slice came with caramel topping on the side, but I didn't use it, because it would've made the cake overly sweet. There were a lot of other interesting cake flavors to choose from that I'll certainly try next time! Interior is very quiet and cozy with wifi, great spot for studying or working. Parking is street only, so may require a bit of a walk if spaces aren't available. read more

I have been seeing post from this coffee shop for the last few weeks I knew I had to come visit. I am a visual eater and just by presentation alone they won me over. First parking was easy and upon entry to the restaurant we were greeted. Aesthetically this coffee shop is quaint yetbeautiful. I ordered the blue sky, which is the blended coconut drink with pea flower extract. it was refreshing and lightly sweetened. My partner got the pea flower coconut water drink, and thought it was nice and refreshing! My other friend wanted a blended coffee, which was not on the menu however they created something that was extra exceptional and beautiful. We also got some desserts to go my favorite Hokkaido cheesecake. It was absolutely delicious! Light and refreshing but not too sweet. This place has won my heart over and I'll surely be back! read more

I come from NYC so I love me a good cafe. But this place really shocked me. It brings together all the things I miss about NYC. Their thai tea is so delicious and it isn't as sweet as some thai restaurants would make it, matcha is of good quality, and all their desserts are not too sweet which is perfect. The staff are the best and they take their jobs very seriously. The presentation on the desserts is great, you eat with your eyes first! Also love the Italian coffee machine they use, they put in a lot of effort for good quality ingredients. So glad to find a cafe that reminds me of the food in NYC. Please get the sea salt chocolate tart if you go, it's definitely something you don't see around here. Looking forward to coming back and getting the hokkaido cheesecake. read more

RUN..DON'T WALK!! This little café is an outstanding addition to the many options in Columbia but this little place is a gem. They invested in a true ITALIAN coffee machine and are pumping out the best cappuccino in Columbia. The tea options are very nice as well with optional dried lemon or lime to complement the teas. The bakes good are all homemade and made by the owner, who is just so sweet! We had the giant chocolate chip cookie, which was thick, but soft, freshly baked and slightly warmed and served on a plate with a fork and a light dusting of powdered sugar. Hubby had the classic chocolate torte to go with his cappuccino. This was served with some light, fresh cream and a chocolate drizzle. We took home a chocolate muffin for later. The packaging was on point and it even included a little container of fresh cream for the muffin! A hand written note to keep it cold is always a plus! This owner delights in having people love her baking, ans we sure did!!. The sweets are decadent but in a European kind of way, with just enough sweetness but not sugar overload. The ambiance was cozy and relaxing with gentle music playing in the background and a nice fresh dispenser of cold water to wash down that delicious chocolate and coffee! What an amazing little place! We can't wait to go back! Her cakes are also available for ordering with 2-3 days notice....great for special events like birthdays and anniversaries or tea parties! read more

I came back to Café de Thyme to try more of their desserts, and they did not disappoint! I noticed they had an affogato on the menu and asked if they could make a matcha version instead--sure enough, they made it for me and it was absolutely delicious. The cream puff is a must every time I visit--so light, creamy, and perfectly sweet. I also tried the carrot cake and coconut cake this time, and both were incredible. The baristas here are always so sweet and welcoming. The ambiance is cozy and calm, making it a perfect spot to relax with dessert and a drink. This place is quickly becoming one of my favorites! read more

This is our second time trying this Cafe! The lady who works the Cafe is kind and helpful. She recommended both coffees we ordered with great descriptions of what they would taste like. We got the Thyme Signature and the Yuzu Thyme and they were both amazing. The coffee tasted just sweet enough without overpowering the espresso flavor. We also got both cookies and both were amazing. The sauce that comes with the coconut cake is so so delicious! read more

This was some of the best desserts I have had. I haven't had Cream Puffs like these in a while. The owner is very down to earth and she came and talked to us for a while. I really enjoyed our time. read more

Tried out this spot located so close to work as a hump day pick me up. Walked in - place was so cute and quaint. Perfect for a chat/work or study session. I was greeted as soon as I walked in from both workers. They were out of the blueberry cheesecake which I heard was really good and not overly sweet so I went for the tiramisu. The tiramisu was so nice and light - perfect for a pick me up without feeling guilty. I got the Butterfly Pea-Passion Fruit which tastes as good as it looked. I didn't mind the seeds at the bottom, complemented the drink with a nice crunch. I will definitely be back and will not feel guilty if I become a regular. (I ordered cookie to go with my tiramisu for a coworker who was busy - she ate the cookie so fast) read more

Super cute place with interesting options on the menu! The pastry case items looked delicious. I got the yuzu thyme drink unsure if it would be caffeinated and to my delight it had a shot of espresso on top. The espresso + acid/fruit flavor is one I don't see often but love so I absolutely loved it. read more

I just discovered them after looking for some different cafes in Columbia, and they're fantastic. The thai iced tea is amazing and the pastries are out of this world. (They had Hokkaido cheesecake. Where have you ever seen Hokkaido cheesecake in Columbia, South Carolina?) The atmosphere is great, too. Very relaxed but still has a kind of upscale vibe, if that makes sense. It feels like an actual cafe and not some trendy coffee bar. Not that there's anything wrong with those but sometimes it's nice to go someplace that doesn't feel like they're working out of someone's abandoned warehouse, y'know? Service is quick and friendly, too. Probably my new favorite spot in Columbia. read more

Cafe De Thyme - Butterfly pea passion fruit soda & mixed berry soda. Both delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

My husband and I love everything about this cafe', and it has become our date spot. The cafe has cozy vibes and the staff are always friendly. We love European-style cakes that are not as sweet as those found in the US, and Cafe Thyme is exactly what we were craving. We have had the NY cheesecake, the Hokkaido cheesecake, the chocolate cake, the berry cake, the white cake with the flowers, and the creampuff; all good. My husband loves the coffee, and I usually get a butterfly pea passion fruit drink. Last time I got an iced mint chocolate which was also delicious. It is also nice because the first hour of parking in the garage above is free! read more
